Meet the co-hosts from 'The View' (aka 'What the hell is Elizabeth Hasselbeck doing on the show?')

[BushOut06]

Barbara Walters - her credentials are solid, no explanation needed!

Whoopi Goldberg

Sherri Shepherd

Elizabeth Hasselbeck

Can anyone give a good reason why ABC would go after someone like Elizabeth, who prior to The View, had practically no experience whatsoever? Her claim to fame is that she participated in some fucking reality show where lying and backstabbing are acceptable tactics?

1. Cute blonde married to football "star"..need there be more? n/t

2. Exactly why she is a repuke

Lying and backstabbing are requirements to be in the repuke party now. As to what she is doing on the view, I have no idea. She is a stupid stupid bitch. I saw them talking about the new HBO show, Tell me you love me. She acted like the sex in that show was the most god awful thing she had ever seen. I guess she got pregnant twice by immaculate conception.

3. They needed a token empty headed blonde bimbo to mouth the right-wing talking points????

Maybe she is related to someone who produces the show????

4. "finished in final four of Survivor: Australian Outback"

After stripping off her clothes for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

8. Wrong show and wrong contestant.

That was Jenna Morasca and Heidi Strobel in Survivor Amazon.

5. she's a bushbot. nt

[mitchum]

6. She services the producer

[DURHAM D]

7. Bill Geddes - producer and

part owner of the show is a Rethug. Every morning after the whole group met to discuss the topics for the day Elizabeth stayed behind and met with Bill (and god knows who on the phone) to plan the days right wing attacks. EH is the only person to ever receive this kind of special coaching.

This is why Rosie left - she was being set up on a daily basis by BG and EH.

Barbara only cares about the ratings. My Diet Coke has more moral fiber than she does.

9. I can't stand her

But I guess The View needs to capture that 26% freeper demographic.

10. She should be in Iraq, not on the View.

She seems to think this war is so great, a healthy young woman ought to be doing her duty and serving in the military. Plenty of moms (and dads) in the military; there is no reason she shouldn't be fighting for * and this war she loves so much.

11. She's a fucking zombie robot..

maybe they needed a token.
